“…Underdeveloped countries are under pressure to evolve rapidly, which blind them to any possibility of integrated policies that include good building performance in the design process [3]. It is necessary to find new affordable techniques to reduce the costs of building which means that building design should not only incorporate aesthetic values, but also practices that manage and reduce waste in the building process focusing on natural cooling and heating with the use of passive architectural methods, balancing conventional building consumptions with innovative renewable energy applications [4].…”

The complexity of green and sustainable transformation processes in the urban and architectural reality of Jordanian cities is increased by the effects of inappropriate building material use and inadequate design processes. This paper focuses on the difficulty of introducing sensible building proposals in underdeveloped contexts, caused by the inadequate definition of technical requirements for building performance. The aim of this paper is to provide innovative means to modify the parameters and practices of related projects, highlighting the concept of affordability as crucial in sustainable design processes and related technical choices in underdeveloped environments. The methodology adopted in this paper is based on theories that promote innovative visions, approaches, and concepts regarding the availability of building materials and energy resources. This paper introduces dynamism into sustainable architectural and urban regeneration, firstly make them more integrated to minimize waste, and through design processes that reduce environmental impact during renovating of existing buildings introducing recycling plans. Other outcomes of this paper include the use of affordable green and sustainable architectural parameters and the introduction of active proposals to simplify the complexity of the unbalanced relationship between affordability and sustainability in building design.

Housing as one of the most basic needs of human being has received much attention. As a physical shelter, it is a fundamental need in each family. The need to housing has been increased based on the population increase in cities and its high density and it is a big problem in cities. High price of housing and lack of quality including construction materials to form and cultural quality is one of the greatest concerns of most of families. The study to create methods or types of design is necessary to provide comfort and many suitable housing indices and quality indices. Quality issue in housing increases the price. To reduce construction time and improvement of construction operation, modular building is used in the world. This method is a good model in construction for housing mass production. It should be considered that housing as living place of human being should be mostly regarding cultural issues than a symbol for the life and survival of human being. The study design is descriptiveanalytic. The data is collected via existing articles and resources to present a strategy to eliminate the problem of cheap housing. The problem of cheap housing gives some feedbacks regarding the materials or climatic and cultural patterns of society and also it creates problems in society and people as low-income class. The present study aimed to approach two paradoxes of cheap price and quality (including materials and culture).
